The Raptors went looking for a signature victory in San Antonio, and instead got their heads handed to them. Pascal Siakam scored the game’s first basket, which proved the only time Toronto was ahead. The margin was double figures before seven minutes had been played as the Raptors woeful first-quarter play created another giant deficit. The closest the Raps ever got was within eight points early in Q2, after which the Spurs put the pedal down.
Kyle Lowry was probably overdue for a stinker after winning several games by himself recently. His 3-point stroke deserted him, and he sat much of the second half as the situation deteriorated.
